Answer:

In subduction of one plate over another on the basis of weight

Explanation:

When two plates moving and colliding, the plate with higher mass will subduct below the plate with lower weigh and lighter would remain above. generally continental types of plates are lighter in weight and oceanic plates are heavier.

Ex:- The collision of Eurasian plate and Indian plate. Indian plate is below and Eurasian plate above and formation of Himalaya

A rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 16 ft/s from an initial height of 5 ft. write a quadratic function equation

Andrei [34K]

During upward projection the final velocity is zero, and the gravitational acceleration is -10 m/s² (against the gravity).
Therefore; using the equation;
S = 1/2gt² + ut
Where s is the height h, g is gravitational acceleration, and t is the time and u is the initial velocity u, is 16 ft/s.
Thus; h= 1/2(-10)t² + 16t
We get; h = -5t² + 16t
Therefore; the quadratic equation is 5t² - 16t + h =0
